At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR L. CHADWICK & R. KORZINSTONE, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Korzinstone frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal is a common journey for patients under Dr Korzinstone's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out become straightforward again.
• If a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day or causing discomfort, Dr Korzinstone offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist) through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Effectively addressing looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults with Dr Korzinstone's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth and social interactions.
• Dr Korzinstone's comprehensive care for their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention is meticulously designed to result in understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions without dental worries.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Korzinstone, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Korzinstone?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Korzinstone for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR L. CHADWICK & R. KORZINSTONE.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, provincial health plans like the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR L. CHADWICK &amp; R. KORZINSTONE.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Korzinstone for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Korzinstone will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Korzinstone's specific recommendations.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health). Dr Korzinstone determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Korzinstone at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR L. CHADWICK &amp; R. KORZINSTONE?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of medical/dental history, thorough check of teeth, gums, jaw, soft tissues (oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr Korzinstone will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
